A baby’s cry fills the night
Heralded by angel’s song
The coming King, here at last
And waited on for so long
Born in a stable, the humblest of places
There lies the Savior, the hope of the nations
See the One,
Who made the stars
Nestled there in His mother’s arms
See God’s Son,
Who bears the scars
The expression of His Father’s heart
Given to us…
The everlasting gift of love
Glowing torch light fills the night
A trial set for early dawn
The coming King, now crucified
And everything seems all wrong
Laid in a tomb, the bearer of our sin
Conqueror of death, Jesus lives again
See the One,
Who made the stars
Nestled there in His mother’s arms
See God’s Son,
Who bears the scars
The expression of His Father’s heart
Given to us…
The everlasting gift of love
Emmanuel
God come down
Here to save us all
Born to die
To give us life
Can you hear the call
See the One,
Who made the stars
Nestled there in His mother’s arms
See God’s Son,
Who bears the scars
The expression of His Father’s heart
Given to us…
The everlasting gift of love
